Although I hadn’t actually met Tony and Brooke before their engagement shoot, they charmed me with their warm and bright smiles. This couple is so in love… the passion and connection between them goes far beyond anything words can describe.

Tony and Brooke’s engagement was shot at the awesome Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.


Love these.


Strobist info — SB800 on camera right, held by Brooke, triggered via pocket wizards; f22, 1/100s exposure.

Being able to hang out with people in love is one of the perks of my job. : )

Brooke and Tony, thank you for traveling all the way to the cities. It was really nice working with you guys (and Cyrus). I wish you all the best in the wedding planning, and I look forward to working with you again!

warmly,

Jon and Jenna rocked my socks off.
I know I’ve said it countless times before, but seriously, I am blessed with the most awesome clients.
Could a session be any better??!!!


If they look familiar to you that might be because Jon is Paul’s brother, and you’ve seen them in some of the pictures from Paul and Emily’s wedding.

The conversation often started with, “do you mind if I have you…”
… jump?

… clone yourself?

… play air guitar? … do a leap frog?

… do a cartwheel?

… hanging from the monkey bar?

… go on the zip line? … toss Buster up in the air?

… FLY over Saint Paul city skyline?

And they’ve graciously said “yes” to all my requests.

No clients were seriously injured during the shoot… however, the slideshow below might make you want to hit the gym. So watch at your own risk.
There, I’ve warned you. : )

Jon and Jenna, you brought sunshine in on that gloomy day. Thank you for your superhuman athleticism. It was so nice meeting with you guys, and I look forward to working with you again. In the meantime, enjoy the sunshine in Florida for all of us here in Minnesota! : )

warmly,
Ai Ling
